I am a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of California, Davis studying animal movement through tropical forests in Panama. Most of my time as and undergraduate and Master's student was focused on marine ecology, but I transitioned into terrestrial work for my Ph.D. I am particularly interested in expanding our knowledge of hard-to-reach species or ecosystems. For my Master's I worked on a project comparing reef shark survey methods and now for my Ph.D. I am working to extend camera trap surveys into the forest canopy. Check out my research page for a summary of current and past projects.
I am also interested in the many ways in which science is communicated, specifically how scientists themselves choose to translate their work to public audiences. I have had the opportunity to take advantage of several workshops and training opportunities geared toward scientists, and have enjoyed employing these skills in a variety of live and digital storytelling formats.
